[Robert_S]

pete could you not find a smaller bottle jack in that first picture?

 

great pictures mate

[PeteB]

Madmatt, yes that was 98 - we had loads of fun in that!

 

NickB, yes, I modded and tinkered with all kinds of motors back then.

 

Armchairarborist, thankfully my driving style matured, at least on the road it has!

 

RobertS, the jack was a tad small - it was all I could get hold of at the time, but did you like the "stack" of logs? "Managing" is something that a lot of tree people do, when it needs doing, tree people have to manage with what they can get!
